Everlasting 2014

 

Bruce called it everlasting

While the ancient poet said

a thousand years hearts melting

a potent kiss

your hand to my hand

as we stroll into the Apocalypse

the ache too hard, as that ancient poets said,

the everlasting memory of that first kiss

should have been enough

and yet never was

and now all this time later

 it is all there lasting

a decade or a century

or until the end of time

 the taste of it lingering

the full of it tattooed in me

so I will never forget

everlasting

a thousand years

 always melting me

from the inside
